I'm sure Tim got that idea from me, and I got that idea from these
review comments:

"I'm finding it is much better to drop and recreate tables than rename
them - it causes problems with index names and constraints keeping old
names and even triggered a Slony-I bug once where it was making naming
assumptions that could be broken by renaming tables."
